Hello, anyone with Precise 5.7.1 on usb, has experienced like a freeze when execute "Menu---Shutdown---Power-off computer"? The black screen with "Precise-Puppy is now shutting down" remains indefinitely, so I have to remove the battery and unplug the power.

april: The forum software seems to have a bug where it'll "blank" posts that have something in [url] tag sets it doesn't like. You'll notice that you can still edit the post, or quote it, and the text is there.

Precise 5.7.1
I notice the thread [url] http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84718[/url]deals with a lan wireless adapter I use as , no doubt , do countless other potential users.
They would be walking away in droves scratching their heads and going to other distros as there is only a limited fix by "pemasu" for the one distro only (5.4.2) and it has not been incorporated in subsequent releases so none of them are useable for people with that adapter . I last looked at 5.7.1.

I see also a bug noted in this threadhttp://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=85477with glipper failing to load reliably each time , sometimes it loads most times it does not and restarting the x server fixes it . If you are deep in the middle of something and want to copy text then everything has to be shut down first.

What is the point of continually updating distributions with new features if old problems are not fixed? I can't use any precise distro except 5.4.2. I guess the others are like that too huh?[/b]

BarryK has left the building and is not active in supporting Precise.
So, Precise Puppy 5.7.1 is what it is and that is about as good as it will be. There is really no active support, by the developer, in fixing anything.

I suggest you use Slacko 5.7._________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected

I am assuming the question is about the sed cmd itself and not the
duplicate directory tree that it finds. So.

find / -type d | sed -n '/.*\(\/.*\)\(\1\)$/{p}'

Breaks down as this...

find / -type -d # only looks for directory entries starting from root

sed -n # don't auto print the matches

# the guts of the pattern
'/.*\(\/.*\)\(\1\)$/{p}'
# means find any pattern where the pattern matched in
# (\/.*\) , is then repeated '\(\1\)$ at the end of the directory name.
# if matched, then the response is to print {p}

What this finds is a tall tree of directories that were copied into the full install tree and because (I guess) that tree already existed, it just copied that full tree below the existing one. For puppies that like to be lean, this is not the way to go.

You have messed up a little the 'url' tags in your posting - DO NOT insert spaces between those 'url' tags!

Here is your post refined:
